MATTAPOISETT — The Mattapoisett Woman’s Club is offering two $2,000 scholarship awards to Mattapoisett residents who are high school seniors graduating in June.

In addition,  there will be a $1,000 scholarship granted to a Mattapoisett resident who is reentering the academic world after graduation and is in pursuit of a post-secondary degree.  

The Mattapoisett Woman's Club is a philanthropic organization with a history of awarding scholarships. The first scholarship award for $5 was presented to a student at Center School in 1943. Five years later in 1948, the amount was increased to $100. 

More than $100,000 in scholarships has been presented to local students to date. The club plans and executes fund-raising events to help generate revenue for these scholarships and other charitable donations.  

In offering these scholarships, the club supports educational leadership and the community through its fundraising efforts.

For high school seniors the scholarship application will be available in the guidance offices of Old Rochester Regional High School, Bishop Stang High School, Old Colony Vocational Technical High School, Tabor Academy, Bristol County Agricultural and by email at info@mattapoisettwomansclub.org for those not attending the above schools.

That email can also be used for applicants of the scholarship for students reentering the academic world after graduation. 

The deadline for returning completed applications is March 31.
